Reset via Software (Hard Reset): If a soft reset doesn't resolve the issue, you can perform a hard reset using the HP printer software on your computer. Open the HP printer software on your computer and navigate to the printer's settings. Look for an option to reset the printer to its factory defaults or perform a hard reset.
